93 Points Wine Enthusiast
Bold and ripe but vivacious and layered on the nose, this blend of 56% Tempranillo, 30% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre and 7% Grenache offers aromas of baked berry, toasty oak and chai spice. The palate grips in a firm yet forgiving way, as a vibrant acidity pushes flavors of dark fruit, brown spice and vanilla bean through the palate. — Matt Kettmann

This inaugural vintage of 57 Octaves Below Middle C is a unique combination of varietals made with differing fermentation styles. Tempranillo fermented hot and fast while the remaining fermented low and slow. The must was punched down multiple times a day to ensure nice extraction .Only free run wine was selected to be bottled.I used a mix of puncheons and 265liter barrels from my favorite blend of coopers.The wine was racked once before bottling in May 2022.
